The 'What if' movie thread...

Alexander JL · 01-07-2003, 01:53 PM

This thread is just a reflection on 'What if...' using movies.

Let me start off...

What if 'My Fair Lady' was cast using Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (given that it was shot in the sixties) as Henry Higgins and Professor Pickering respectively? I can see it now... The two are voice artists who research vocal usage, and Pickering has a taste for booze and broads.

If you follow some background stories on certain movies on channels like AMC, E!, or behind-the-scenes shows, you know that casting changes can be made which affect movie roles. The first choice gets sick, has contract problems, etc. So here's one for you:
What if Tom Selleck played Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark(he couldn't because of his Magnum, P.I. obligation)?
